The smart budget traveler knows the advantages of hotel room meals. The reasons for staying in my vary, but the point is that not every meal needs to be a restaurant experience. The humble ramen noodle, for example, is not just for soup. Pretty delictable meals can start from a packet of ramen noodles. Or consider a gourmet twist on the sandwich. Start with a nice crusty loaf and improvise fillings as suit your budget. Something more fancy, like a nice pasta meal from few ingredients, can be whipped up in a hotel room, too!
